Chapter 172 Explosion

Richard returned to the facility and found that the battle above was over. Primadis and Fina had cleared the obstacles. Although the troops responded promptly, more than a dozen soldiers were buried here.

Richard picked up Yorum, who was dragged on the ground, and threw him to Primadis, saying, "Tie her up with a chain. This guy is very troublesome. You must keep an eye on her!"

"Yes, Lord Richard." Primadis waved his hand, and the two soldiers behind him took out iron chains and tied Yorum up.

Richard took a look and saw that the binding was quite tight. He shook his head and said, "Let's continue. This road is no longer dangerous. Let's go to the center here!"

Fina was looking at Yolum. When she heard Richard's words, she immediately stood up and said, "Yes!"

After capturing Yolum, Richard got the remote control. The functions of the buttons on the remote control were clearly written, perhaps to take into account Yolum's IQ. After closing the trap, Richard and others found the central hall smoothly.

"This is... a wonder!"

Primathis couldn't help but admire it. Not only Primathis, but even Richard was extremely shocked. The rough crystal polished large screen, although not clear, could still distinguish the road conditions in each area. There were buttons on the console, and each button corresponded to the button on the remote control.

Richard calmed down and said, "This is the main control room."

Primathis also came to his senses: "It should be. I will do my best to crack these devices!"

Before Richard could answer, the rough screen changed the picture. The small screens that were originally divided into more than ten different pictures merged into one, and a woman who looked like Fina, wearing a burgundy uniform and a military cap of the same color, appeared on the screen.

"Sister?" Fina's eyes widened, holding the umbrella tightly in both hands.

The woman in the picture opened her mouth: "Hi, everyone, welcome here. Richard and Fina haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Menia, it's been a long time." Richard narrowed his eyes. Menia, Fina's twin sister, is the secretary of the Demon King. Richard didn't have much contact with her. When the Demon King was forced to sign a non-aggression and confidentiality agreement with Richard, it was Menia who came to negotiate the terms. Fina is much more familiar with her. After all, they are twin sisters. But even if they are twin sisters, their status and fate are very different. No, the word "very different" is not accurate. It should be said that they are very different.

Menia has been the adjutant of the old demon king since she came of age. As the demon king's mouthpiece, both the princes and high officials have to be respectful to her. The number of people who want to please her can fill the strait from the southern part of the continent to the Lilbana Islands. Her sister Fina works as a housekeeper and maid in Rocky's home. When Rocky's father was still alive, this job was a decent job. At that time, Rocky's father was one of the most powerful generals in the Demon Continent, and Rocky himself was a strong contender for the next demon king. There are endless people who want to curry favor with others to pave the way for their own future, but the good times don't last long. Rocky's father was identified as treason, his father was killed, his mother disappeared, and the punishment of confiscation of property and exile followed. Although the exile was cancelled later, Loki's identity as a prince was also stripped. If it weren't for the emblem on his body that proved his royal bloodline and had a terrifying power, Loki would have died that year. With the great changes in his family, only Fina, who had been with him since childhood, was left by his side. The two depended on each other until they met Richard.

The relationship between the twin sisters was not good, otherwise, when Loki was wandering, Menia, as one of the most powerful people in the Demon Continent, would not have failed to arrange a good place for her sister. As for why the relationship between the two was not good, Fina was reluctant to say, and Richard did not ask further. The conflict between the two has been going on until now. When Rocky participated in the King's Order, it was Menia who suggested giving the unprotected Prayer Maiden to Rocky. On the surface, it was to show generosity, but in fact, it was to hope that he would die on the border of Yggdalsil. Not only that, Richard's airship order was postponed after the King's Order. Knowing that Richard and others had established a firm foothold in Yggdalsil, the owner of a certain shipyard quietly told the merchants of Iron Wheel One that the initial postponement was forced, and it was Menia who gave the order. Fortunately, Menia's sinister intentions were resolved under the strategy of Richard and others. Now that Menia appeared here, there must be something bad, and Richard also guessed that it was this Demon King's adjutant who had a lot of intelligence based on Yorum's help.

Menia in the picture opened her mouth and said, "Mr. Richard, first of all, congratulations on taking over the second country of Yugdelsilu. You are now far ahead."

Richard chuckled and raised his chin and said, "Miss Menia is really well-informed."

Menia said in a coquettish voice, "Of course, Mr. Richard, I am paying close attention to you."

Or rather, I am paying attention to Fina and Rocky. Fina next to her has already raised her umbrella in front of her. Every time Menia's voice is coquettish, it means that nothing good will happen to her.

"Oh my, my dear sister, how can you do such a thing? Put away the umbrella quickly, I am very sad."

Fina said coldly with a cold face: "My dear sister, please take back your hypocritical voice and say what you want to say."

Menia pouted: "Okay, my dear sister. Now your situation is getting better and better. I look forward to the moment when I meet you in the Magic City. By the way, to congratulate you, I have prepared a big gift for you, I hope you are satisfied!"

After that, the picture sizzled and Menia's face disappeared from the screen.

"Not good!" Richard felt something was wrong, and half of his body turned into tentacles, covering everyone in the control room.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

There were explosions everywhere, and the deafening explosions lasted for a full minute before they stopped.

"Cough! Cough!"

Primadis and the others coughed. Fina was still frightened until now. Her sister was going to kill her! She couldn't resist this kind of explosion no matter what! Not to mention that her umbrella could only block direct damage.

Fina turned around to thank Richard, and found that Richard was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and his tentacles were gradually retracting to reshape the right side of his upper body. Some tentacles were even blown up, and the pink flesh inside was turned out.

"Thank you, Sir Richard."

Richard opened his eyes and said, enduring the pain: "You're welcome. It's my duty to protect you. You are all my subordinates."
